How do i stop my friendship bracelets from spiraling?

Whenever i make bracelets they always end up in the pattern i want but they spiral instead of laying flat. How do i stop this from happening?

This is just the way friendship bracelets are. They spiral, because of the knotting pattern. My advice to you is to try not knotting it so tight. Make it a little looser, but not so loose that you can see the strings. And, to flatten it you can soak in hot water for a second, then squish under some heavy textbooks (with a towel sandwiching it of course!).
